Fig. 1 Kaplan-Meier curves comparing the uses of antipsychotics, anxiolytics, and different opioid doses on survival (time shown as days). Log-rank test showed significance (P < 0.05) for opioid doses over 300 mg OME/day as well as the use of only one type of antipsychotic and anxiolytic. OME = oral morphine equivalent.

Fig. 2 Kaplan-Meier curve comparing survival between four groups of patients with different combination of antipsychotics, anxiolytics, and opioids. Log-rank test showed significantly longer survival in ANX and/or APS (P = 0.025) and OPI + ANX + APS groups (P = 0.002) compared with group of patients with no such medications. A trend toward longer survival was present in all combinations (graph not shown). ANX = anxiolytics; APS = antipsychotics; OPI = opioids.
